The busy day previewed in yesterday's press briefing (see prior post) has yielded a plethora of images. There are too many to tag for specifics, and until now there are no statements or remarks released to accompany any of them. Nevertheless, these images say a great deal. First of all there are new foreign ministers and prime ministers from some countries (like Japan's Maehara whom she met in Hawaii, and Australia's Julia Gillard). She is no longer the "new kid in school." For perhaps the first time in my memory of her SOS tenure and in my photo archives of summits, conferences, conventions, and the like, she is NOT front and center and NOT dressed in a bright color in the class picture. She is near the end at the left, in black and looking tiny - but she usually does look tiny. I especially love the pictures of her waving. Those big blue eyes, that bright smile, and her always positive attitude look so reassuring to me. I hope our friends and allies find them so as well.
